Two things I see as options if I were Sony. 1 - If I was Sony I would consider waiting until September next year and drop the price by $100 and in the mean time look for more efficient factories to produce PS4's. 2 - I would also heavily consider dropping the price this year by $50 then launching the PS4 slim in two more years with a $100 price cut. A $250 PS4 slim with a price cut would be huge in two or three years. Then a year or two before PS5 cut the price by $50 to bring it down to the sweet mark of $199 and hopefully repeat the success of the PS2. The PS4 would then sell long into the PS5's lifetime due to how relevant the console still is. But this all depends on how much ground MS gains and how much Sony reacts or how much MS reacts to Sony. Its a boring race day-to-day but through the next five years it'll be something to look back on, for sure. |
eh, i'm not gonna prettend that I know stuff, but i'm gonna guess that Sony has already brought down manufacturing cost of the PS4 significantly compared to at launch and they can cut prices anytime. They're just trying to squeeze out as much cash per unit sold that they can.. considering that their other departments sucks ass.
